Personally I think you're a piece of crap who should move as far away from Yorkshire as it's possible to get.You've got a bird site - you swear like a squaddy, reckon Tophill Low's 'shit' because there are some rules. I've been going there since the 70s, long before it was a reserve, and despite such rules are there are - it's an excellent reserve. If you don't like it - don't go - to compare a nature reserve with a nazi prison camp shows the depth of your idiocy.

You're a grade A moron

thank you

love it best comment of the year and at least i have an A in something,slightly disappointed it wasnt A+

but come on

10+ speed bumps to the nature reserve! either the locals are nutters or yorkshire water employee's drive like boyracers.note not 'nice' bumps but the big fuck off lumps of rubber ones

the signs are crap,apart from the ones telling you what NOT TO DO they are funny

the hides are set back 'miles' from the res

imo its just a place to create money for what i dont know,as the res's dont change but the area's that are for nature are overgrown

up the 'with' early doors and its dead, 1 swallow and 1 wheatear,oh and 21 twite,but for obvious reasons,(ie nick carter will be pestering me to see if they are ringed) i will not be posting anymore twite sightings on here anymore.if you want to see twite then go to whiteholme res.2 twats went past on bikes but the stupid fuckers left their number plates on!

'crime in action'

while at the 'with' a text from daz ward about the glossy ibis at allerton bywater.not a yorkshire tick but still a good bird.so off i went with nick d.daz helped even more by phoning me on site,telling me how to get to a better spot.

well i thought #100 would be a wader how wrong i was.i headed to the bracken to check for any warblers,when a owl flew up from just below me.the photo below was taken straight away,its crap but you can tell its a long eared owl!

the nearest woodland is 2 miles away so it must be young bird moved on by its parents,it circled above me for a minute then dropped into the bracken some way off.a cracking bird
